General information

Own vineyards 81% Tempranillo, 19% Mazuelo. Aging process. The bunches are de-stemmed and gently squeezed. The grapes ferment separately in stainless steel tanks, with temperature control. The incubation lasts 11 days during which continuous “pumping up” and “punching down” tasks are carried out, to favor the contact of the must with the skins and cause a slow and natural extraction of aromas and polyphenols. The Tempranillo was harvested on September 30 and the Mazuelo on October 7, from the selected grapes of an excellent quality vintage in our La Plana payment located in the highest area of our Finca Ygay at 485 meters of altitude. Decant 20 minutes before enjoying it. Serve at a temperature between 14-16ºC to promote the aeration of the wine and be able to fully enjoy its aromas. Poached turbot in its pil pil and oven touch, earthy with purple garlic; grilled and regenerated pigeon of bresse on the grill, cauliflower and pear marinated in red wine; baked sirloin steak, cameroon black pepper and wild mushrooms; roast suckling pig, roasted sour apple. 26 months in 225 liter American and French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial

It has good depth and concentration, still young and alive with fine tannins and supported by a freshness that balances it. It will evolve for a long time in the bottle.
